क्षीरस्नानं प्रकुर्वंति ये नराः कृष्ण मूर्धनि । शताश्वमेधजं पुण्यं बिंदुना बिंदुना स्मृतम्
kṣīrasnānaṃ prakurvaṃti ye narāḥ kṛṣṇa mūrdhani | śatāśvamedhajaṃ puṇyaṃ biṃdunā biṃdunā smṛtam
જે મનુષ્યો શ્રીકૃષ્ણના મસ્તક પર ક્ષીરાભિષેક કરે છે, તેમની દરેક બિંદુ બિંદુ કરીને શત અશ્વમેધ યજ્ઞજન્ય પુણ્ય સમાન ગણાય છે।
Sūta (deduced: Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa narrative voice addressing a king)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Listener: A king (nṛpa) addressed in the chapter context
Scene: Temple sanctum in Dvārakā: devotees pour warm milk in a steady stream over Kṛṣṇa’s crowned head; droplets sparkle as if each becomes a sacrificial fire-offering; priests hold conch and bell; white milk contrasts with dark-blue icon.
Devotional service (abhiṣeka) to Kṛṣṇa, especially in a sacred setting, is extolled as supremely meritorious.
Dvārakā by the ongoing Dvārakā-māhātmya context.
Kṣīra-snāna/abhiṣeka—bathing Kṛṣṇa (the deity) with milk.
